Chemical Structure

Clobetasone Butyrate EP Impurity I CAS 639817-47-3 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Clobetasone Butyrate EP Impurity I (C26H32ClFO5) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Clobetasone Butyrate EP Impurity I (CAS 639817-47-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C26H32ClFO5 and a molecular weight of 478.98 g/mol.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Clobetasone Butyrate EP Impurity I meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
